🎥| Must watch video from Declan Rice on Instagram: “An absolutely incredible couple of weeks celebrating bringing the Premier League back to North London after 22 years.
“As I said when I joined this great club, my dream is to win trophies here. This is the first of hopefully many more.
“We have a really special group of players and a manager that has absolutely transformed this team. It's a privilege to be part of it.
“Thank you to the fans for all the support not only this season but since I joined. You've welcomed me with open arms from Day One!
“Now, full focus on the World Cup and I look forward to seeing you all next season. Enjoy the Summer.” ♥️ #afc
Multiple Grade I winner and 'TDN Rising Star' DETERMINISTIC (Liam's Map) has returned to Saratoga to defend his title in Saturday's GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan Stakes.
Last year, the @clementstable trainee won the race by a head over Integration, who also returns.
Imagine if Incredibolt wins the Preakness… and THIS is how he got into the race.
Incredibolt was doing well after running sixth in the Kentucky Derby, so trainer Riley Mott called his dad, Bill Mott, to get his thoughts.
"First person I called. While I was eating lunch, I called and said, 'What do you think?' He said, 'If he’s doing good, put him in. When do they enter?' I said I didn’t know. I called up the racing office and was like 'Hey, when do you enter?' They said, 'We close in about an hour.' That’s a true story. I am not embarrassed to say that. That is how not on the radar this race was.
As a father myself, I love this so much. Sometimes that’s all kids need to hear — No overthinking. No fear of failure. Just trust the work, take the shot, and see what happens. Whether it’s horse racing or life, we should encourage our kids to chase opportunities when they’re in front of them. Rooting hard for @Riley_Mott.
The only way Ireland's World Cup dream would continue was if they could beat Portugal at home and Hungary away. Last Thursday, Troy Parrott scored twice in Dublin to beat one of Europe's best teams. Today, in one of the most dramatic games in World Cup qualifying, Parrott recorded a hat trick, with the game winning goal coming in the 95th minute. He is single-handedly taking Ireland closer to their first World Cup since 2002 🇮🇪
Ireland's World Cup dream looked over 😰
Step up Troy Parrott, in the 96th minute, to score the biggest goal of his career, complete a first international hat-trick and send Ireland to a playoff 🇮🇪
Soak in those scenes. Imagine not loving football 🤯
Grade 1 winner Sibelius won the 2023 Dubai Golden Shaheen while racing and is competing today with Alison O'Dwyer. He retired from racing with a record of 27-9-3-4 and earnings of $1,803,011. #TBMakeover
